Volume VI

Eleven horror rumors

About three months ago. A strange fire caused quite a stir in the city. The rumors behind the fire still creep people who know about it when they talk about it. Reportedly. The man of the house had just returned from attending a relative's funeral in the countryside. He stepped into the door that day as usual. His wife specially prepared a fragrant meal for him. Smile as before and come out to greet him. The six-and-a-half-year-old child is drooling. Greedily looking at the dishes on the table with bursts of aroma. Waiting for Dad to come to the table to start the meal. It's just that. None of them noticed the strange look on the man's face when he came back from the dinner table. The expression on the man's face that always hung was not clear whether it was a smile or something. It makes the wife feel very uncomfortable. It also makes the child feel very scared. It was the longest and weirdest meal they'd ever had that night. The next-door neighbors, who were sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a burst of creepy screams coming from that house. Then there was another scream of a child and a woman. Then. An eerie laugh from a middle-aged man rang out. That burst of laughter gave goosebumps to everyone who heard it. All sounds seemed to disappear in an instant. Suddenly there was a dead silence, and the neighbors who were awakened were curious. Suddenly someone shouted that there was a fire. Then. A fire seemed to fall from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the house was surrounded. In the midst of the flames. The man's hair-raising eerie laughter suddenly rang out. It wasn't until dawn that the house was burned to ashes and it didn't end afterwards. According to the firefighters who arrived to investigate. The man was burned to death shortly after the fire. Can. The neighbors had all heard the eerie laughter that had lasted all night

"What is this. Ghost stories." The fruit droops down the eyelids. looked at Cheng Shuai speechlessly.

Cheng Shuai grabbed his hair. Throw the information in your hand back. Spread your hands out towards the fruit. Make a helpless look:

"I don't know. It's just that the 'information' given by Chen Weiwei is probably described like this."

"I said what are you doing studying ghost stories at this time? I'm full."

Behold. The fruit has just spoken. A sound similar to drumming sounded in Cheng Shuai's stomach. Cheng Shuai looked at the deflated stomach. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the fruit with a disgusting look in his eyes. From time to time, I glanced at the restaurant next to me:

"Forgot to eat. I don't have any money on me."

"Do you want one of my girls to invite you to dinner?"

"I'm hungry. I don't have any money on me."

"Are You a Man or Not"

"I'm really hungry. I don't have any money on me."

“”

About half an hour later. Cheng Shuai walked out of the hotel with a swollen belly. With a cheeky and satisfied smile on his face. Behind. The fruit followed with a black line on his face

"Hahahaha. That back to the pot meat is good. It's just a little lighter. And that chopped pepper fish head. Tastes good. Hahahaha. By the way, there is also that braised pork."

Finally, the fruit that couldn't bear it anymore stepped forward and knocked him to the ground with a punch, looking at Cheng Shuai, who was foaming at the mouth on the ground. The fruit has an urge to step forward and add a few kicks. Can. That familiar face. This familiar scene made her feel an inexplicable warm current in her heart. She shook her head. Bring yourself back to life:

"When you're full, get me up and do things seriously. What time is it now. You also go to study ghost stories."

"That boss seems to be very rich and draggy."

"What."

"I said the restaurateur. Now it seems that he is very rich and dragging," Cheng Shuai got up from the ground. Pat the dirt off your body. Tilt your head and look at the restaurant." Damn it. It's upsetting for me."

"You. . . It's okay to eat and have nothing to do."

"The boss. He was the first 'neighbor' to tell that garbage ghost story."

The fruit was stunned. I also subconsciously glanced back at the hotel. He turned his head again and asked Cheng Shuai curiously:

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Shuai grabbed his hair. With a look of contempt, he looked at the boss who was receiving guests in the hotel:

"That guy was a 'Dulang cultivator' who couldn't even pay the rent before, but after that fire, he was inexplicably rich."

"What does it mean to be a 'solitary cultivator'?"

Cheng Shuai turned his head and glanced at the fruit. It's as if some wound in my heart has been touched. With a sad expression. But he pretended to say in a deep voice:

"'Solitary Cultivator' is a very noble one. Very honorable title of personal practice. This great title is given to only a few people in the world, who are like lonely wolves in the night. Chasing the faith in my heart alone. It's like an unruly wind. With a frivolous appearance. Silently go to cool people's hearts. It's also like a spring rain. Selflessly nourishing the earth. Keep the tears to yourself for them. With the greatest mind on Valentine's Day despise those who go out in pairs. Use the noblest sentiments to destroy those happy couples. Use the brightest smile to laugh at those lovelorn men and women. He is the glorious and great 'Solitary Cultivator'."

"You're talking about a bachelor who can't find a wife like you."

"Look. What a beautiful moon."

"It's broad daylight now. Where the moon comes from doesn't care about this first. Not sure what you're talking about though. But I advise you to take the case at hand seriously. Now I don't have the energy or time to care about other people's history and ghost stories. I said you don't know what you're doing."

"Do you know what the hint was in that bird letter (Section 5 of this case)?" Look at the stunned fruit. Cheng Shuai tilted his head."' 1. Pay attention to what happens next.2.The blood debt of three months ago.3.Pay back the other in the other way.4.Three days after the time limit.'"

"'The blood debt of three months ago'. Give back to the other in his way.'" The fruit suddenly trembled. Asked in surprise. Could it be?"

Cheng Shuai slowly turned his head around. With a strange expression that people can't understand. said in a deep voice:

"I said it. For that 'hemorrhoids angel' thing. Lao Tzu was completely enraged. This time. I'm going to put my heart and soul into that bastard's bullshit provocation."

XII. First meeting

Unconsciously. It's getting dark. Wan Li, who stayed in the detective agency, subconsciously looked at his watch. It was almost eight o'clock. He has been waiting for Bi Chengcheng to rest and come out to investigate Tang Peng's whereabouts together. But after dinner, I didn't see Bi Chengcheng come out. I knocked on the door several times and got no answer. Wan Li finally got a little impatient. He stood up from the couch. Walked straight to the door of Bi Chengcheng's room. Without saying a word, lifting is a kick:

"'Tried and tested. Wanli Enhanced Edition'."

The door was kicked open. But it was empty. Only the messy sheets on the bed proved that someone had ever slept on it. But Bi Chengcheng seemed to have disappeared. It's gone.

Wan Li was stunned. He clearly remembered that he had never seen Bi Chengcheng go out of the room. So where did he go. A cool breeze came to my nose. Wan Li looked at the open window. A hint of worry crept into my heart

"Yikes. Who are you. When did you come in?"

Behind. Suddenly, Sakura's startled voice was heard. Wan Li hurriedly turned around. I was stunned to see a strange figure standing next to the bed in the living room. Wan Li looked at the man carefully. He was dressed in red and white. It's like a perfume. There was a faint aroma wafting all over the body. And draped in a black trench coat. Wearing white gloves on his hands. Face with a black leather mask. Make people unable to see their faces. But he exuded a strange aura of innocence and evil all over his body, which surprised Wan Li. Wanli knows that the comer is not good. Walked cautiously. By the way, Sakura and Tsuneki are behind him. At the same time, he quietly motioned for them to stay away:

"Excuse me. Are you here for the Mask Ball or are you here to commission a case?"

The man glanced at Wan Li with interest. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Say in an apparently processed voice:

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Wanli "groaned" in his heart. I don't know why. A terrifying chill suddenly swept through his body. It was a chill that you don't even have to face death. Unconsciously. Wan Li found that his body was too scared to move. But I don't feel anything terrible or scared in my heart. Don't. It's a bodily instinct. Other words. Even his own body instinct sensed the terrible man in front of him, and Wan Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He struggled to make his body move. The first thing is to ask Sakura and Changjing behind them to find a chance to leave here quickly:

"That. I suddenly remembered that something was left in the car downstairs. Sister Chang Jing. Please go down with Sakura-chan and help me find it."

Chang Jing is also an old member of the detective agency after all. I immediately understood what Wan Li meant. Truly. The two girls themselves, Sakura, will only get in the way here. She immediately pretended to be a natural hand holding Sakura. Opened the door and walked out:

"Okay. We're going to find it for you."

Looking at the back of Changjing pulling Sakura away. The masked weirdo chuckled quietly:

"How does it feel to be a flower messenger?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Huh. Just to say hi. That's right. Can you tell that wolf friend behind you to stop looking at me like that? Hehe. I'm afraid" The strange man's words made Wan Li subconsciously look behind him. Suddenly found that Bart, who had been napping in Cheng Shuai's room, had come out of nowhere. He glared at the masked stranger viciously. The mouth gritted its fangs and made a low "hum" sound. But it seems that the smell of perfume on the other party is too strong. Makes Bart a little uncomfortable. From time to time, he used his claws to gouge his nose with the support of Bart. Wanli suddenly had confidence. The body is also relieved. You can move around freely. But. At the moment when Wanli's heart just relaxed. The sudden look on the strange man's face made Wan Li stunned again. I'm afraid I'll be tempted to kill you."

Bean-sized sweat rolled down Wanli's face. He knew in his heart that the other party was definitely not joking. Hurriedly turned around to reassure Bart. Then he raised his head and looked at the man with some fear:

"Who are you?"

The man smiled and shook his head. No answer. But said with a smile:

"It's a question I don't even know the answer to. Don't you think your partner's whereabouts deserve more attention?"

Wan Li was stunned. Subconsciously looked at Bi Chengcheng's room. His brows furrowed tightly:

"Where did you kidnap that guy?"

"This question. Didn't your teacher, Mr. Tang Peng, the God of Reasoning, give you a hint?" The man tilted his head slightly, with an unpredictable smile on his face. I put them together."

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"Just trying to add a bit of stakes to the game." Talking. The man turned around and jumped onto the window. He made a goodbye gesture to Wan Li. Looking forward to your performance. Hopefully we can meet again. Oh. That's right. If you have to find a code name to call me. Trouble call me. Inflammation."

Wan Li shuddered. Stunned and speechless, he froze in place. watched the other party calmly jump out of the window and leave

Night. A little bit to climb into the sky. Slowly pull down the curtain of darkness
